You pretty much agreed that they were transparent. But that's neither here nor there. More importantly, I can understand wanting to know why two of the most important people had left the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect more too but I'm willing to give them a little time to get their feet back under them after losing the CEO as part of this debacle. I want them to get it right, not to rush out information just for the sake of people who are impatient. The decision not to tour has been made, that's the most important thing to get out quickly because it affects the kids and staff. They can't really expect a lot of new donations without providing more information and a solid plan, but expenses are also a LOT lower without doing a tour so immediately raising money isn't as urgent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many donors are waiting to know more. so it's a double edged sword. and it's clear at this critical juncture, the ties to the Erie region hasn't paid off financially yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Only thing wrong with "us" are the gloomy Gus seniors who populate DCP. Drum corps is thriving, and 2024 will see the finest DCI finals ever. Estimated attendance: 24,000. Hopefully minus 50% of the regular contributors to this antiquated forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you denigrate senior DCPr’s, you call it an antiquated forum, yet you post on the antiquated forum to the gloomy gus seniors. Does that make you hypocritical in any way? Possibly? Not sure why you bother to post at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting harder to find housing, three top corps (counting SoA) have taken season off due to issues and expenses keep going up just like everywhere else. I’m glad for what we have and surprised the activity still exists as well as it stand today, but have to be realistic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
